flyboy-red.livejournal.com[ The video clicks on and the screen pans the Muruc Cahuac Skysea. Particularly one of the finer beaches. After a moment, it comes around to show Rude and Reno in swimming shorts. Entirely opposite; Reno is lanky and wiry, and blindingly pale while Rude is taller, exceedingly muscular and his skin is considerably darker than the redhead's. Reno still has his goggles on and, yes, Rude's sunglasses are actually necessary now. ]
Uh, so, yeah, this is the Muruc Cahuac Skysea... I think I said that right. Probably not. Whatever. [ Reno shrugs and grins up at Rude. ] Does anyone know what the deal is here?
It's a sea. In the sky. [ It's completely deadpan, and mostly addressed toward Reno. ] And those goggles are going to give you a stupid-looking tanline.
[ Reno gives Rude a look and rolls his eyes. ] Yeah, well so will your sunglasses. [ He looks back at the screen. ] So, anyone know how a sea gets... like, into the sky and moves and... why the hell it's so hot here?
They haven't before. [ He says this in a "and they never will, so shut up" tone of voice. ] Could be because it's closer to the sun than anywhere else. Wonder where it was from originally, though.
They still could. [ Nope, not shutting up. ] I don't care, man. It's too fucking hot. It's nice, sure, but I'm gonna burn like a bitch... [ Frowny frustrated face. ]
They won't. [ They won't. ] It's called sunscreen.
[ He huffs at Rude, frowning at him with a face that just screams "I don't like this heat so stop bullying me!". Then his attention comes back to the real matter at hand. ] Anyway. Yeah, any information would be real helpful.
About anything. [ Rude smirks slightly. ] How's the weather where you are?
[ Totally gives up with this heat. ] Gotta be better than this god damn frying pan.
[ Snorts. ] That's what the water's for.
Would help if I could swim more than two feet, Rude. [ Unimpressed. When would he learn to swim in Midgar? ]
Looks like you'll be learning. [ It's only a bit menacing. ]
[ Yes, he looks a bit frightened now... and the transmission ends. ]
